Welcome to the 65th Murphysboro Apple Festival - “A Harvest of History”.
In the past two years the Apple Festival lost two very special friends, Fred L. Cook and Kay Thomas.
The Apple Festival Committee thought it fitting to name Fred this year’s Benefactor. More about Fred may be found on the Benefactor Award page in this book. We are proud to announce the re-birth of an Apple Festival favorite which will be named in Fred’s honor. The Fred L. Cook Free Apple Cider and Donuts will be held during the Kids’ Free Fair.
Kay was a life-long supporter of the Festival, especially the Pageant, and most recently volunteered in the Information Tent sharing her knowledge and love of the Festival with Apple Festival visitors. Her family honored her by requesting memorials be made to the Apple Festival Scholarship Pageant. Kay will be dearly missed by all who knew her. We appreciate her family’s thoughtful support of our Festival.
This year, although we say goodbye to an event, the National Apple Peeling Contest, we are happy to announce some of our past National Apple Peeling Champions will be demonstrating their skill throughout the Festival in the Farm Bureau demonstration area. The Jackson County Farm Bureau and local apple growers will be working together to once again provide activities which draw attention to the agribusiness of apples.
Our goal is to not only showcase our hometown, but to give back to it in various ways. As our Grand Parade Marshal is Jane Williams of the Murphysboro Food Pantry, we will be collecting donations for the Food Pantry this year. Plan to bring non-perishable food items or cash donations and drop them off at the Information Tent on South 13th Street.
We are proud and excited to introduce a new event, “A Taste of Murphysboro, a ticketed event catered by our locally- owned restaurants, which will fund a scholarship to be given annually to a graduating MHS senior. More information may be found on the Apple Festival schedule.
Be sure to stop by each of the Civic and Not-For- Profit booths located in Smysor Plaza to vote on the best booth and for a chance to win a bushel basket of Apple Festival goodies! As always, the Appletime Emporium will be open throughout the Festival and stocked with shirts and other souvenirs. The Appletime Bakery will be providing delicious apple treats and the Kiwanis will offer their apple smoothies and other items. All hours of operation arc listed in the schedule.
We are excited about this year’s 65th edition of the Apple Festival. Whether you take in the free entertainment on the Appletime Stage and in the Arts and Crafts area or check out the classic cars at the Appletime Show & Shine, whether you visit the General John A. Logan Museum exhibit or the Jackson County 4H Exhibition, if you cheer on your friends at the pie eating contest, or at Drums at Appletime, or it you participate in any of the other family favorite Apple Festival events, we hope you enjoy what this year’s Apple Festival Committee has planned!
